Asfarviruses are a group of viruses known for causing diseases in animals, particularly in pigs. The most notable member of this group is the African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV), which leads to a severe and often fatal disease in domestic and wild swine. ASFV is highly contagious and can spread rapidly, posing significant threats to the pig farming industry. These viruses are classified as DNA viruses and are characterized by their complex structure. They can survive in various environments, making control and prevention challenging. Understanding Asfarviruses is crucial for managing outbreaks and protecting livestock health globally.
